 we've got probably two and a half feet it's unbelievable hey guys it's uh march 14th it is the day after the third nor'easter of march and we have over i think close to two and a half feet uh on the ground and this all came down yesterday and all last night and it's still there's still some flurry so poor jay's been out shoveling and cleaning out the cars i've got to go to our bed foot office and he told me this horrible news it's not true he told me that we might have another nor'easter next week i'm telling you that's gotta be impossible it just can't be it really can't be i haven't even unpacked yet from my texas trip i have like bags and piles of stuff all over the place because we came home saturday and then sunday was my mom's party and monday was very hectic and then tuesday was the storm oh the day in a life the weekend life it's crazy but it's my life so i would thought i would insert this little clip that jay took while he was outside he had dug out the snowblower and actually cleared off most of the driveway and then he was trying to clean off the car and he just really got a kick out of the way this slept so he grabbed his cell phone and and recorded it but that's an amazing amount of snow it really is and this was the nor'easter number three third one in the month of march that we had and this video clip was taken on the morning of march 14th 2018 look at this snow bag and look at my motorhome over there oh my gosh it's gonna be a long time before this stuff melts and we get to take that motorhome out on a trip this is my version of multitasking first of all see my ear pods jay got me these for my birthday and at first i was like uh am i gonna use them but i love them i absolutely love them we came home from uh texas and i got sick and jay got sick and i think sometimes when you're sick your skin just looks like crap and that's how i feel so multitasking i'm listening to a podcast that christin 321 told me about i think it's up and vanished and it's in uh case in atlanta georgia and her name is tara grinstead and they just made an arrest last year so i'm like super excited to hear the rest of the podcast and i'm on my home uh elliptical trying to get a little bit of a workout oh anyways if this works out i'm not just you know how this this will uh look the finished version of it i'm thinking instead of a car vlog maybe i can do a workout vlog talk to you while i'm working out for 20 minutes might make the time go by faster sometimes trying to decide what earrings to wear and i have a blue colored top on but sometimes trying to decide what earrings to wear is really hard this is what i call my earring tree just sort of my my funky arrow these might work i think i'll wear these today these just might work anyways some of these earrings like these i found when i was going through a old hope chest so some of these are very very old earrings and some of these are new funky earrings but all of these are just my funky earrings and they're not you know none of my really um not good but my my expensive stuff is not kept on this tree but i call this an earring tree i don't know what it's really called that's what i call it so i decided to put these earrings on these are vintage pieces these are the one of the ones that i found in that little hope chest that i mentioned earlier and i think they're kind of cool they sort of match my my top so i'm heading i'm heading into london dairy and then this afternoon i'm actually going to the apple store i have a genius bar appointment with my office computer they bought me a mac because i kept complaining about the pcs and the dels so they finally bit the bullet and they bought me for work a mac to use for work so i'm like super thrilled to get final cut pro so i'm going to learn that now i do a lot of videos from my company so of course it's a company machine but it'll benefit me because i'll learn that system so i'm going there this afternoon dropping my computer off i i i think it probably will be about an hour or so repair and then i'm going to take advantage of of going into um i don't want to say it too loud because i don't want shade a pipe in but i'm going to go in visit sephora because that's in the manchester mall as well and then i'm also going to go into alta now i know they get the 21 days of sale so i'm going to bring my flyer but you know it hasn't started yet um i don't think i'll have to look at it maybe it has but i'll take a look at it there was really nothing that jumped out at me except maybe two things so i'm going to take a look at them and um and see if that's something i want to purchase later on so happy monday guys and the best news of all is that the nor'easter number four that the news has been saying might come in and impact the east coast if it comes in it'll only impact us hopefully lightly it seems like it's going to the worst if it's going to stay off um stay for the south of us so i'm keeping my fingers crossed on that one tomorrow is the first day of spring i i don't know but i'm going to turn the camera on so you can see the snow in my driveway still i think i can roll down the driveway i know that's really hard for you to to get the perspective of it but my lilacs and then on this side over here i wrote a dendron my rose of Sharon's popping back up a little bit right there you can't really tell but yeah so tomorrow's the first day of spring i went to walmart yesterday after work i really needed to get some nyquil and some medication and i ended up doing that and i ended up knocking myself out last night so i never even got to answer the comments on my videos um but i've just been crazy sick so anyways i went to walmart after work yesterday and i have been watching i can't remember uh you know who it was that first talked about this as far as i was aware of but so i decided i was going to try this melani palette and this is the plum basic i think it's the number four it on my glasses so i can't see so i thought i would try it and i did i put it on this morning so um i know this isn't my lighting isn't set up you know everything isn't set up right but and my eyes are all puffy from the nyquil and being so sick but i wanted to show you and and just tell you my initial first thoughts about this i love the color is i love how it blends but i think it has a good amount of fallout for me i don't know if you can see i've brushed off my lower eyes a lot but it to me it has a good amount of fallout um but brushing it off i can deal with that so i like the colors i like did like how it applied i did like how it blended and i probably for the money it was like under nine bucks in my walmart i probably will pick up another one um one of the neutral palettes and give that a whirl so yeah for me so far it's been okay i can deal with the little you know the little um fallouts what do you think oh i'm going to uh when i was in here getting ready it's trying to do something with my hair because i'm going to work this is friday by the way guys i probably didn't say that i think it's march 23rd i'm not too sure i'm gonna look at the date but i'll insert it afterwards if i use this clip but while it's standing here getting ready all of a sudden i saw some wild turkeys out there so i'm gonna insert the clips here so you can see so the first i saw one come by and then another one come by and the second one kind of like student outside my bathroom window and hesitated for the longest time and the first one took off and and i was like oh my gosh i feel so bad for these turkeys because there's like still two feet of snow out there as you can tell and it's the end of march and uh and then i said he's going to be waiting for somebody or something and because they usually are in these huge tribes and then all of a sudden the third one came and um so i kind of there was only three of them but i fit bad i wonder you know i wonder how they're eating you know and i with all that snow in the ground so i just arrived at the office and i just wanted to um show you my earrings i'm hoping this picks it up but um i got these like last year sometime beginning of the year at tj max and i really like them they sort of like a rose gold color and they get like colored different stones in it and i always get compliments on these earrings and i think i paid i want to say like maybe $15 or something like that but yeah i like them now i'm gonna head on in the office so i'm in work but i just cannot believe how crappy i still feel like ridiculous this cold is not leaving it's been like 11 days i mean actually it's been longer than i've had this cold it just wants to hang on so do you think i look smart in my glasses i think i kind of look doofy but this is the real me i think i'm going to probably end the vlog with a sort of like a i guess a little product review but so what do you think of my smoky eye i don't know if this is going to show up on camera or not but i've been playing it's saturday i've been playing with a palette that was sent to me from the company it's called afterglow cosmetics and it's really an interesting company i'm going to link all the details but afterglow cosmetics sent this for review it's a palette and they're replaceable palettes in other words and i i did i'm going to insert the unboxing video right here so you can see when i received it and what it looked like but take a look at these colors now this is sort of a neutral palette and i was kind of like thinking you know how is this going to work out am i going to like it and i really i will tell you it came with a really cute little brush this brush is actually very very nice can you see the little powder you do have to you do have to shake it off but i used these brushes that came to me from my boxy charm and this is the vintage cosmetics company so i ended up using these brushes because my regular brushes i was washing and i was cleaning them so and i really wanted to use this to do this look so what i did and i'll have to insert the colors but i did this all over my lid and then i did sort of like the transition i guess you call it in this lighter shade here i think it's more of a taupe or um yeah taupe and then i used the little darker charcoal color for the corners and then i used the little lighter glittery color for right in sort of like the center and then after i was all done and i deepened it and i thought it looked good then i went and i took the lighter color again and i did that right under the brow bone so that's the look i did today with this it is saturday i've been home i've been playing around this was sent to me from the octaly network free of charge you know the one thing i really think about i really like about octaly is that if you're lucky enough to get selected from the company i mean once octaly approves you that's one thing but you still have to be approved by the individual company that you want to review a product so if you're lucky enough to get selected by a company that you want to review they'll send you a product free of charge in return for for your opinion and um and i really like that because you know there are things that i am sent that i'm just really not interested in and for an example of something that was sent to me unbeknownst to me was this nature queen shampoo and conditioner the label is really really messed up there were a number of other content creators that had reviewed this product i did a first look at it and i said i used it once i thought it shampooed nicely i wasn't bothered by the smell i thought i really liked how my hair how my hair came out and there were a ton of positive reviews so the second time i used it i went to bed and jay kind of said what's that smell and i i said nothing go to sleep i was tired and um and so the you know and so it has been ever since i've every time i shampoo my hair and use the conditioner of this product jay complains about the smell and i still do like to sleep with my husband i really do i um we we do what you call spoons at night and how to describe a spoon you know how you snuggle up and you're kind of like you're you know i don't know but we call it a spoon position so he sometimes often smells my hair depending on which way i'm lying and he's i'm getting no i know this is getting wacky but yeah so he really does not like that smell of that shampoo he came right out and told me like it makes me sick so sorry i have to toss them i pick my husband over the the shampoo but the afterglow i wish he was here because i want to see what he would think continue to wear it do wear test see how it holds up at the you know after the whole day of wear and all that i it is powdery so you do shake i did shake off the brush when i applied it i find a very little bit tiny bit of a fallout i do think it blends really really nice i like how it blends i like that you can build it up that not so intense color and you can build it up and you can also blend out some of the colors so i really like that so some of the fallout very very minor fallout i almost want to say that my bare minerals this is a palette i bought i like the colors in here and i know i've shown this palette before so i really do like these colors but this palette has a lot of fallout so when i apply it i always have to brush underneath my eyes i also this week bought a melani palette and i think i showed you in a previous clip and i have to brush off underneath my eyes as well now we use my busy art palette and my amethyst palette i very really have to brush anything off and if i do it's just a tiny tiny bit but the other palette that i have which is i believe cashmere has more of a fallout than the amethyst palette and i'm surprised so i don't know if maybe the formula is a little bit different or what but busy art amethyst is my favorite palette overall this has been a really solid second for me color wise and wearability i really like the colors that i have in here when i went to texas this is this palette is really all i could have put abroad and i like the melani palette the melani palette that i wore the other day wore really well but this afterglow palette i haven't it hasn't done the wear test for me yet i've just been you know messing around with it again i do like the colors i do like the fact that you can customize this palette these are replacement little palettes you can buy them you can put them in there they're all magnetic you guys probably all know that better than me so and i really like the colors i used every single color today in this eye look that i created now yeah i'm not a makeup expert i'm not you know whatever but i did i used every single color and i really liked it so we've had i'm gonna like i said this is gonna be the last of my vlog hopefully this will go public tomorrow sunday but we've had a just a drama felt week between work and all the things that we've had to do this week it's been a crazy week for us but probably the the most scary thing for me was getting a text from jay on one of the days that he was driving a portsmouth and i was driving to london dairy i get a text from him and he said i couldn't avoid it and then he sends me a picture of his damaged car which i'm going to insert right now my heart went bump bump bump bump when i looked at the picture because i knew he was traveling on i-95 95 it's a very very busy busy highway and apparently somebody lost a tire and apparently you know the tire was on the road and the car you know must have fallen off at one point of someone's vehicle or truck and the car in front of jay tried to swerve hit it and i guess it flew and hit and landed on somehow on jay's trunk and then bounced off and you can see the damage it did but one thing that that really brought home to me was that your life and i think you all know that your life can change in a second your life can change and i think we all should spend time focusing on the good things in life and focusing on the positive and trying to make a good difference and not sweat the small stuff you know yeah i'm i'm running to work i'm worried about being late i'm worried about this and that but when you think about all the things that can happen to you just don't sweat the small stuff and that's what this week has brought forward to me we've been sick as dogs both of us we i'm feeling much better today saturday's the first day i felt as good as i am still cough i'm still congested but i'm feeling like now i'm at the point where i'm thinking i'm feeling like 70 percent maybe 75 percent better than i did and it's been it's been a long sick week for the megalocides for sure so uh yeah that's that's the scoop i wanted to let you know about this palette i'll let you know how it wears for me but i'm really really enjoying it i i kind of think the look i kind of think the look is pretty good what do you think so anyways guys i know my vlog was a lot about nothing but thank you all so much for watching and i'll see you the next time bye guys
